The fencing line x is the height of a rectangle triangle of base = y, hypothenuse of 9 m, so we use Pythagoras theorem to solve:

hyp^2 = height^2 + base^2
9^2 = x^2 + y^2
x^2 = 81 - y^2


we can see that x is also the height of another rectangle triangle of base = 15 - y, hypothenuse of 12 m, so we use Pythagoras theorem to solve:
hyp^2 = height^2 + base^2
12^2 = x^2 + (15 - y)^2

lets expand:
144 = x^2 + 225 - 30y + y^2

substitute x^2 from the first equation in the last:
144 = 81 - y^2 + 225 - 30y + y^2
144 = 81 + 225 - 30y
30y = -144 + 81 + 225
y = 5.4 m

substitute in the fence equation:
x^2 = 81 - y^2
x^2 = 81 - 5.4^2
x = 7.2 m that is the length of the fence

Round to the nearest benchmark fraction 5/9
Stells [14]
1/2 because 5/9 is equivalent to 10/18. Half of 18 is 9 and 10 is close to 9 so the nearest benchmark fraction you should round to is 1/2. Hope this helps you!

What additional information could you use to show that ΔSTU ≅ ΔVTU using SAS? Check all that apply.
GalinKa [24]

Options

A. UV = 14 ft and m∠TUV = 45°

B. TU = 26 ft

C. m∠STU = 37° and m∠VTU = 37°

D. ST = 20 ft, UV = 14 ft, and m∠UST = 98°

E. m∠UST = 98° and m ∠TUV = 45°

Answer:

A. UV = 14 ft and m∠TUV = 45°

D. ST = 20 ft, UV = 14 ft, and m∠UST = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangle

Required

What proves that: ΔSTU ≅ ΔVTU using SAS

To prove their similarity, we must check the corresponding sides and angles of both triangles

First:

\angle UST must equal \angle UVT

So:

\angle UST = \angle UVT = 98

Next:

UV must equal US.

So:

UV = US = 14

Also:

ST must equal VT

So:

ST = VT = 20

Lastly

\angle TUV must equal \angle TUS

So:

\angle TUV = \angle TUS = 45

Hence: Options A and D are correct

Henry is asked to find the exact value of cos 10pi/3. His steps are shown below.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

<em>A) The reference angle should be </em><u><em>\frac{\pi }{3},</em></u><em> and the sign of the value should be </em><u><em>negative.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(\frac{10\pi }{3})

Remove full rotations of 2π until the angle is between 0 and 2\pi.

cos(\frac{4\pi }{3})

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because cosine is negative in the third quadrant.

 -cos(\frac{\pi }{3})

The exact value of cos(\frac{\pi }{3}) is \frac{1}{2}.

−\frac{1}{2}

A town has a population of 5000 and grows 3.5% every year. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it be until the populat
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential function. In order to find the answer to the question, we need to first determine what the equation is that models this information. The standard form for an exponential function is

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate. If the starting population is 5000, then

a = 5000

If the population is growing, that means that it retains 100% of the initial population and is added to by another 3.5%. So in a sense the population grows 100% + 3.5% = 103.5% or, in decimal form, 1.035. So

b = 1.035

Our function is

y=5000(1.035)^x where y is the ending population and x is the number of years it takes to get to that ending population. We want to know how long, x, it will be til the population reaches 7300, y.

7300=5000(1.035)^x and we need to solve for x. The only way to do that is by using logs. I'll use natural logs for this.

Begin by dividing both sides by 5000 to get

1.46=1.035^x and take the natural log of both sides:

ln(1.46)=ln(1.035)^x

The power rule for natural logs is that we can now bring the exponent down in front of the ln to get:

ln(1.46)=xln(1.035) To solve for x, we now divide both sides by ln(1.035):

\frac{ln(1.46)}{ln(1.035)}=x

Do that division on your calculator and get that

x = 11.0 years.

That means that 11 years after the population was 5000 it will be expected to reach 7300 (as long as the growth rate remains 3.5%)
